Chicks Love Cars

I fell in love with this "factory special" 2 years ago. It is colour-change blue, with a subdued green/grey interior. Form not only follows function, but establishes equal playing ground. The car is absolutely beautiful, aggressive, & handles well in the L.A. traffic! Truly a timeless, minimalist design, it can "bust a 1/4" with the best of 'em while still maintaining class. 56,000 mi & no

XK8 Surprises after 3 years

I bought primarily based on looks with some attention to features like horsepower, big tires, interior -- and I still think it's one of best vehicles you could ever own. I thought I'd be paying for all the fun someday in repair bills, but to my surprise, the vehicle has been very reliable and trouble free. Knock (dashboard) Wood.

Fine car

I love this car. The sleek design is very pleasing. It's fast, responsive, corners well and has a beautifully finished interior and exterior. Have driven the car in southwest Florida since 1997. The only negative is the bushings in the front have needed to be changed twice. Now I'm told the new bushings are much better than the original. All in all, a world-class car.

This car is the best car than they have been invented in its category, the car everything is of an exquisite quality, I have had Mercedes Benz SL500 of 1995 and I assure to them that this model of Jaguar XK8 is far better in all but comfortable but pretty better service and east durability vehicle is for all the life.
